Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes was on the Eddie Trunk show again today. He mentioned The Replacements last time too, I think I mentioned it here, but today he went into depth about seeing them in Atlanta on the Let it Be tour, Bob Stinson in a dress, REM watching from the side, a beautiful mess. Clearly he gets it, more than just casually. That aside, the dude is a great interview - super funny and engaging. There is some back story about the Crowes and replacements that I never heard of but I know for a fact they went at each other back in the 90s. Long story. Sorry. Back in the day, I used to snail mail trade cd bootlegs. The BCs had a great network and I was getting envelopes in the mail and sending out cds every week. Anyway, I got to know some people from trading and one day I get a extra bonus cd in a pile. It’s labeled with a radio station call letters and the date and the words BC interview. I pop this cd in and it’s a Boston station interviewing the BCs live in the radio. After a while, the dj asks what new music are they listening to. They say something like “the new bash and pop Friday night is great. But that guy is a total F$&@g A&@hole and we were going kick the s$&t out of him and those other guys he used to play with. They’re all a bunch of (beeped out). And if they don’t apologize we’re gonna kick all their (beep.............). The whole band is ripping the Replacements and Tommy a new one. It goes on for a while and the dj finally changed the subject. But then they repeat how much they like Friday night and the replacements. It was weird because everything I ever heard out of the BCs regarding the Replacements was how much they loved them except for this one interview. I wish I knew where that cd is but Its lost and I gave away so many over the years that almost all my cds are gone anyways. Anyone know what went down between these guys to get an interview like that? I mean, I know of a hundred great things the Crowes said about the Replacements. They are big time fans

They are big time fans Great to hear what a big fan Chris is. Regarding the interview, maybe they were just having a laugh and putting on the dj? Surely some huge Crowes fan has a copy of this interview. I have talked to a couple on Dime (looking for a show I saw them do in Atlanta for a huge pot festival way back when - Cypress Hill canceled their part of the double bill - f#king shame lol) and they were very knowledgeable and friendly.

My thoughts too - I wonder if it was just some inside joke, like they knew it would get back to them and they had a laugh about it. At the same time, The Replacements certainly burned a lot of bridges. But CR recalled that 84 Atlanta show like it was one of the highlights of his young concert-going life.

It just might be the best I’ve read too. Definitely one of the best. “A band surviving on momentum, spilled beer and underdog charm.” Thanks for the post.

Thanks for sharing, I'm listening to this bootleg right now. Good read, but the author mustn't have known Steve Foley was their drummer at this point. “Drum solo!” barked the sarcastic fellow, before drummer Chris Mars launched into a solo that must have gone on for at least four seconds.

Come back to us, Paul.

Not sure where to put this, but I had to reup this fantastic vid on YT: Thanks for posting. I saw this years ago, and it still remains one of the most interesting clips of Westerberg. I mean, he is being "interviewed" as a civilian, not as a rock star or celebrity, but as an unknown guy on the street on Christmas Day. His behavior straddles the side that wants to be incognito, but also the side of " ...don't you know who I am?" The woman reporter clearly realizes the guy she is interviewing has done this before, that it is not his first time in front of a TV camera. Like I said, very interesting video.

Christmas shopping at Walgreen’s. I love it. It’s obvious from his basement videos and the rare glimpse of domestic life that the man is not highfalutin in taste or style. He’s a man of the American suburb. Always has been, always will be. He might be enamored with the Impressionists or a subscriber of The New York Review of Books but you’d never know it. God bless him.

Husker Du and The Replacements section from The Minneapolis sound documentary. Of course, the boys don’t show up to be interviewed. There’s a funny quote from Bill Sullivan near the end of the segment though. youtu.be/uRIhtn-SWLI

Pretty great. I remember when it aired - still have the Betamax tape somewhere with SNL on it too. The mats part is good even though they're not there. But the Hüsker part is killer. I always wondered if a video of that whole show exists somewhere. And that Christgau guy from the VV ust comes off as soooo pompous. And I miss Grant.
